Ahmadinejad: Iran Willing To Buy Nuclear Fuel From U.S.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad today said that some countries have offered to supply Iran with 20% enriched uranium for use in its nuclear reactors.
"We have announced before that we are ready to hold talks with experts from other countries to buy nuclear fuel with the enrichment level of 20 percent for Tehran reactor from any country willing to supply us with such fuel, and this proposal was welcomed by different countries," Ahmadinejad noted.
He added that Iranian experts will start talks with potential sellers within the next two weeks.
Asked about an offer by the U.S. and France to supply fuel to Iran, he said, "No problem, if the Americans announce that they want to supply us with nuclear fuel, that would be a good point to us, for we want to buy fuel, and the source would make no difference to us. The United States can be a seller."
About the French offer, Ahmadinejad stated, "Representatives of some countries have said that France is ready to supply nuclear fuel to the Tehran reactor. The issue has yet to be finalized. They (France) should officially propose it, and then we will review the offer."
